If you are just now learning to sew, it can take years to become proficient enough to make any money. In general people do not want to pay very much for home-made items. You will be competing with items made overseas. Also, if you want to sew custom items for people, then you will be at their mercy in what they expect and if you can deliver those expectations. Quite often on this board people want to know about setting up a booth at a craft fair and what sells - because it really does change from year to year and locations. Several years ago a friend of mine lived in the Portland area, she was making quillows and sold them for $60.00 at a local store that sold them on consignment. After the shop got its cut, then the cost of materials (fabric, thread, and batting) I think she told me she made about $10.00.
